Every year in the Territory, we hear about close calls out bush - when cars break down, boats get lost and sometimes these incidents end tragically.

Today in The Guestroom, you'll get some survival tips from one of Australia's leading experts.

Bob has had some close calls in his career as a cray fisherman, a pearl diver, adventurer and survival trainer. Over the years, there have been circling sharks, ocean may day calls, helicopter crashes and many an outback stranding.

But through all of his experiences, Bob has amassed a wealth of knowledge - from Aboriginal Australians and SAS units, and from the Kalahari to the Texas desert.
